PRE-Order - due March 2010 The Manhattan Love Suicides blazed a trail with their feedback drenched pop. They came to an end in July 2009. Just a few months before they were tearing up venues with their shock and awe live performances. And in the middle of these shows they stopped in at Dandelion Radio to record a session for DJ Rocker. These were to be their last ever recordings as a band.

The blogosphere has well and truly taken The Melting Ice Caps - aka laptop-chamber-pop chanteur David Shah, sometimes abetted by a rotating cast of his talented and lovely friends - to its heart. David’s first five singles, released for free through his website over the last twelve months or so, have variously been labeled “angelic”, “brilliant”, “filthy”, “beautiful”, “erudite”, “lush”, “anachronistic”, “stylish”, “romantic”, “witty”, “succulent”, “politely ornate”, “carefree”, “original and imaginitive” and “genius”. Phew.

Pete Green has recently put together a full band to explode the myth that he’s just a singer/songwriter. When I say, just, I don’t mean just. As Pete is a rare breed of singer songwriters - as when you listen to him - it doesn’t make you want to hurl bricks at him as he sings. We’re delighted that he had released the third 7″ single on Lostmusic.
